Heaven-Sent Farm Girl Builds Her Fortune And Captures His Heart-Chapter 443 - 442: Rumors Truly Can’t Be Trusted

Mother and son, holding onto their expectations, followed Le Xuan into the inner court.

Meanwhile, Yi Qianqian and a group of girls, who were stunned by Le Xuan’s words, had just come to their senses.

"What do the words of the Eldest Young Master mean? Has he met that girl?"

"Judging from the Eldest Young Master’s words, it seems the Second Young Master is interested in that girl, but the girl is not interested in him?"

"Moreover, didn’t you hear? Someone said, ’The Eldest Young Master seems very satisfied with that girl. He even said that if the girl is willing to marry, the Le Mansion will open its doors to welcome her!’"

"What is the girl’s identity? Why have I never seen someone like her?"

Not only them, but Yi Qianqian was also quite puzzled.

In the Capital, among those with status and looks comparable to hers, she has basically met them all. Who was that woman just now?

While some speculated about Shen Qinglan’s background, others noticed another issue, "So... the Second Young Master isn’t a cut sleeve after all?"

"Have you ever seen a cut sleeve interested in women?" Someone scoffed lightly, "Rumors indeed are unreliable."

For a moment, everyone speculated internally whether the rumors over the past years about Le Zhao liking men were deliberately spread by him to rid himself of Shangguan Ruyan.

And here, Shen Qinglan had just met Shangguan Ruyan. The two hadn’t exchanged a few words when a maid came to announce that the Cousin Eldest Young Master and Cousin Young Madam had also arrived.

Le Zhao stood up, saying, "You two chat, I’ll go take a look outside."

Shangguan Ruyan nodded slightly, her gaze following his figure until it disappeared behind the screen, then she sighed softly.

From the time she came of age and liked him until now, how could such sentiments be forgotten overnight?

"I reckon you don’t lack anything, so I didn’t buy anything too expensive." Shen Qinglan handed the wooden box, "I heard from the Le Young Master that you like reading ’Journey to the West,’ so I’ve brought a complete set for you."

"A complete set?" Shangguan Ruyan was startled, "Where did you get it?"

Shen Qinglan smiled, "I had them printed earlier, just twenty sets, each set containing ten volumes. I was thinking of bringing the set belonging to the Eldest Young Master too, but upon reflection, I’ve decided to leave it for next time."

Shangguan Ruyan joyfully accepted it, then asked, "Qinglan, do you know Wu Cheng’en?"

Figuring it wouldn’t be good to say she didn’t know him, Shen Qinglan could only nod.

Shangguan Ruyan was delighted, "Can you take me to meet him?"

"Who does cousin want to meet?"

Le Xuan, upon entering, asked with a smile.

"Brother Xuan, Sister-in-law," Shangguan Ruyan quickly stood up, pinched Le Mingyu’s rosy cheeks, "Mingyu is here too, did you bring a gift for cousin?"

Shen Qinglan stood up and nodded in greeting to the two.

Xiang Wenwan glanced at her admiringly, her eyes showing admiration.

She stepped forward and said with a smile, "I am Ah Zhao’s sister-in-law, Xiang Wenwan. I’ve heard of Miss Shen’s name for a long time."

"I dare not accept such compliments!" Shen Qinglan replied, "You can just call me Qinglan."

Xiang Wenwan smiled, "No need to call me Miss Xiang; you can be like Ah Zhao and call me sister-in-law, or call me Sister Xiang, either is fine."

After thinking for a moment, Shen Qinglan called her Sister Xiang.

"See, I told you," Le Zhao laughed, "Miss Shen would definitely get along with Sister-in-law."

Le Mingyu slid down from Shangguan Ruyan’s embrace and dashed to Shen Qinglan’s front, asking in a childlike voice, "Miss Shen, can you tell Mingyu the story of ’Journey to the West’?"
